lemming
'Cause all the cool kids are doing it, and I've actually never done it before, though I made my own variation once.
I guarantee that mine'll be easier than Tomas's. Maybe.
The meme:
Step 1: Put your music player (or whatever) on random.
Step 2: Post the first line or two from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike out the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is cheating!
1. Tonight, I felt stonger inside of your ways/ It takes alot to get home, but it's ok when the light is always on
2. I am not OK with this TV in my face/ and liar after liar with nothin' 'bout nothin' higher
3. You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips/ And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips - [righteous brothers, "you've lost that loving feeling"] - kerstinovich
4. I woke up it was seven/ I waited 'til eleven - [simple plan, "i'm just a kid"] - kerstinovich
5. Slip inside the eye of your mind/ Don't you know you might find - [oasis, "don't look back in anger"] - kerstinovich
6. Raise high monolithic statues so fragile as they fall/ I am ever enthralled - [afi, "paper airplanes (makeshift wings)"] - kerstinovich
7. I want a god who stays dead/ not plays dead - [dandy warhols, "nietzsche"] - kerstinovich
8. Lately I've been feeling a little bit neglected/ When it comes to your ex-boyfriends, well, I guess I'm overprotective - [ataris, "lately"] - kerstinovich
9. Could I've been/ something more than what I've become?
10. Can you sleep as the sound hits your ears one at a time?/ An unspoken balance here, unabridged for so many years
11. In a car outside, we stalk the idle kind./ If you're leaving, just let me know.
12. She was a January girl/ She never let on how insane it was
13. At Cavanaugh Park, where I used to sit all alone in the dark/ And dream about things that I cannot say - [something corporate, "cavanaugh park"] - kerstinovich
14. Looking at you now, remember how you gave me shit,/ And I made lemonade out of it - [tsunami bomb, "lemonade"] - kerstinovich
15. Twenty-four oceans, twenty-four skies,/ Twenty-four failures, and twenty-four tries
16. You always reached out to me and helped me believe/ All those memories we shared, I will cherish every one of them
17. I don't care what you do/ I'm getting out, no nothing ever shames me - [jimmy eat world, "get it faster"] - kerstinovich
18. Let's count the days 'til winter comes our way/ we're all tired and ready to breathe
19. I can't seem to recognize either side of this modern version or/ fading person I was, I tried to memorize dates and times of old
20. Hope dangles on a string/ like slow spinning redemption - [dashboard confessional, "vindicated"] - kerstinovich
Ok, seriously? Eight of these twenty [ETA: five of the remaining ten that are left!] include part or all of the title in the first two lines. I feel ripped off. But it's sort of scary how well this sliver of my music collection represents the whole.
